Everyone in the gym wears a mask (mandated in our state in the gym) however, one of the guards spent most of the hour I was swimming in the chair (in between breaks) with the mask off, unless she had to speak to the other guard. She's taken short mask breaks in the past, but this was ridiculous. All member have to wear the mask in the gym, while working out, on the deck, etc. and an employee of the fitness center doesn't. I'm surprised the other "main" guard has let this go, since he never removes his mask.
Tell that to Madeleine Brown, a freshman swimmer at Emory who died at practice when no lifeguard was on deck. www.wistv.com/.../
Obviously, I won't be able to.
The article doesn't say what she died from. Shallow water blackout? Some weird QT phenomenon? If there were a whole pool of teammates present, why do you suppose a lifeguard's presence would have helped?
Two swimmers on my kid's team had a shallow water blackout amidst 4 lifeguards on some stupid 50M underwaters several years ago. A parent present saved them. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
